[Histonet] Lab Procedures

[Joe Nocito]

Derek
1. I use the old NCLSS format
2. I have about 100 procedures which include Surg Path, Special Stains, 
Immunos, Safety and Admin
3. I create all our procedures when I think it's necessary. If my 
pathologists had their way, I would have over 200
4. My medical director reviews and signs off on the procedures once a year
5. I create (because I can) a training and orientation guide for new 
employees.

Hope this helps
